inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument,
is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.

Warning No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.


Warning If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal
condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.

Warning For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuse only with same
type and ratings, (type 5A/250V). The use of other fuses or materials is
prohibited.

Warning To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the BP 8590 Series equipment
from mains before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened
with water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean
internally.

Warning There are many points inside the instrument which can, if contacted,
cause personal injury. Be extremely careful. Any adjustments or service
procedures that require operation of the instrument with the protective
covers removed should be performed only by trained service personnel.
This product conforms to Enclosure Protection Standard IP 2 0 according
